Hi,
My high yellow female has been eating little or nothing for the past month to two months. I continually put mealworms and crickets in the tank, but to no avail, so I take them out. I decided to try silkworms, the medium sized ones because they are larger then mealworms, and don't move as fast as crickets, so I figured they'd be easier to eat. Well I put in 4, and she ate all of them. THen a few days later I tried mealworms, and she wouldn't eat them, and from then on I tried them again, but she didn't eat them. Just a couple days ago I tried small silkworms, the same size as the mealworms. She ate the silkworms, immediately and so I tried the mealworms again side by side with the silkworms, but she would avoid the mealworms and just eat the silkworms.
Is she just a picky eater? She will only eat the silkworms, nothing else.
